About the tides at Skamokawa

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 6.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 4.9 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.1 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on August 2.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It was established in 1981. The nearest other station is Wauna, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min later. For tidal currents, see Quinn Island, Prairie Channel.
